Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 221 After the surprise attack, King Xiao Ming is using a plan to retreat (four thousand chapters, all kinds of requests~~)

"Someone is attacking!"

Hearing the roar, some soldiers sat up in a daze, and saw the burning tent in front of them. In order to avoid the flames, they ran out of the tent one after another. The soldier felt himself flying in mid-air, under his sight, wasn't that his own body?
"Grumpy"

A human head rolled continuously on the ground.

"go!"

Li Lei cut off the head of a thief and shouted to the soldiers behind him.

The enemy's reaction was too fast, and Li Lei only set fire to a small part of the tents of the Bodhisattva Sect. Fortunately, the southeast wind was strong enough to spread the fire!
"Who is coming!"

A general slashed at Guan Yu with a big knife.

"Die!" Guan Yu yelled and stepped on the horse, a cold light, and the head fell to the ground.

Guan Yu looked at the blazing fire not far away, and shouted: "Lieutenant Li has already attracted firepower for us, you all follow me to fight!"

At this time, some Bodhisattva believers guarding the granary finally reacted. After a panic, a general Arhat organized a battalion of soldiers and horses, set up antlers, and blocked Guan Yu's troops.

Seeing this, Qin Qiong said loudly to Guan Yu: "General Guan, you lead people to detour first, someone will stop them!"

Guan Yu took a deep look at Qin Qiong, and said, "Captain Qin, take care!" Then he swung the Qinglong Saber and shouted, "Come with me!"

Qin Qiong picked up the yellow puma, picked up the long lance, and stabbed a soldier who rushed forward to death with one lance!

Qin Qiong looked around, and Qin Qiong said to the officers and men beside him: "The terrain is narrow, which is not good for us. You continue to set fire, so I will delay them for a while."

"Yes!"

Soldiers around threw the earthen pots on their horses to the tents aside, trying to make a detour when they pulled up their horses.

"Stop them!"

A general Luohan shouted.

Several soldiers stabbed Qin Qiong with long spears. Qin Qiong was inconvenient to turn around. Seeing that he was stabbed, he used the long spear as a javelin and threw it at the enemy.

Qin Qiong's martial arts hadn't completely frightened the group of fanatical believers, they all laughed and killed Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong didn't talk nonsense, and jumped off the yellow puma, holding the two maces in his hands. Under the light of the fire, the gilt and cooked copper maces were shining brightly, making people's eyes hurt.

"Quick! Get me his weapon!"

The general pointed at Qin Qiong and shouted, with greed in his eyes, he thought to himself: This enemy general is holding a treasure!It's shiny gold, and I don't know how many rewards I can get if I dedicate this treasure to Xiao Ming Wang Bodhisattva.

"I don't know if you have the ability to seize a certain weapon! Look at the mace!" Qin Qiong snorted coldly.

Wielding a double mace, he hit a soldier, directly smashing his chest into a depression, spitting blood from his mouth, and died on the spot!
An enemy general held a broadsword in both hands and slashed towards Qin Qiong's head. Qin Qiong blocked the chopping broadsword with his mace in his left hand.

Then Qin Qiong raised his leg and kicked the enemy general to the ground with one kick.

He waved the mace with his right hand, smashing the head of a pounced soldier.

Guan Yu finally rushed into the area of ​​the granary, and Wei Yan also divided a group of soldiers to stop the enemy. Now only Guan Yu led 200 people to the granary.

"Soldiers, burn it for me!"

Guan Yu threw the kerosene in his hand into the granary, and the rest of the soldiers also threw the kerosene cans into the granary.

Sure enough, looking at the basically undefended granary, Guan Yu knew that his lord's guess was right. The enemy army was exhausted and scattered, and they were all hiding in tents to rest. Few enemy troops appeared to stop him.

Moreover, the fire lit by Li Lei in the other direction completely attracted the enemy's attention, so he was able to approach the enemy's food storage area so quickly.

I just don't know what's going on with Qin Duwei now?
Guan Yu didn't dare to delay, and threw the torch into the granary. When the flames touched the kerosene, the fire instantly covered half of the granary, and the wind accelerated the burning of the fire.

A large number of Bodhisattva guards finally woke up like a dream, but it was too late. Guan Yu looked at the fiercely burning fire and said to his opponent: "Everyone! The mission is completed, return to the city!"

"Yes!"

"Master! Is that the direction of the granary!"

A clan soldier pointed in one direction and said to Li Lei.

Li Lei wiped the blood off his face, turned his head to look, and what caught his eyes was the raging flames that had already turned the sky red.

"That's right, that's where it is. It seems that General Guan has succeeded! Pass on the order! Throw away all the kerosene, and let's go back to the city!" Li Lei ordered.

"Yes!"

Li Lei looked at the noisy and chaotic battlefield, and was speechless for a moment: "It's so simple? Could it be that Liu De really has a conspiracy? Can't see it! Forget it, don't think about it! Go back to the city!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

"Stop them!!"

"Quick! Tell Lord Ming Wang."

The fire of the central army of the Bodhisattva Sect spread everywhere with the wind, and countless tents have been burned down. The central army of the Bodhisattva Sect has tens of thousands of horses, but the camps are not properly arranged. There will be some trenches and other facilities to prevent fire attacks, which can prevent the spread of fire.

Because of the large number of Bodhisattvas, the camp area is very large. Although Guan Yu and others took advantage of the unpreparedness and moved quickly, they only ignited the camp in the southeast corner and the middle granary. Not in danger.

A general saw the fire in the southeast, and quickly ordered his soldiers to pull out a large tent to form a fire barrier to prevent the fire from spreading.

But when he saw that the granary was also on fire, he fell to the ground and murmured, "It's over, it's over!"

"What happened, there is such a quarrel outside!"

Xiao Ming Wang was awakened by the noisy voice outside, and angrily shouted: "Come here! What happened outside?"

A commanding soldier scrambled and ran into the big tent: "Master Xiaoming, there are enemies attacking the camp! Set it on fire. Burn it."

"What burned!?"

King Xiao Ming already had a bad premonition
"Qi Qi reported to Xiao Ming Wang, the granary was burned." After Ling Bing finished speaking, he completely fell on the ground, not daring to make the slightest sound.

"Trash! Trash! A bunch of trash!"

Xiao Ming Wang roared with teeth and claws, threw off the quilt, broke out of the big tent, and looked towards the direction of the granary, the sky over there was red from the fire!

King Xiaoming grabbed the commanding soldier by the neck and shouted: "Pass the order down, everyone will go to put out the fire!!!"

"Yes Yes!"

The soldier responded in a panic.

"It's over, the general situation is over." Xiao Ming Wang lowered his head lonely, even if the fire was extinguished, how much food could be saved?The surrounding area has basically been looted, and there is no food to replenish the army. This battle not only lost the life of his brother, but also lost tens of thousands of horses. Chen Liucheng has no chance to break through. King Daming will definitely take this opportunity to weaken the king Strength?His Holiness would have nothing to say, not to mention, even if they withdrew, would the enemy miss such a good opportunity?
King Xiao Ming sighed and returned to the big tent.

Standing on the city wall, Liu De, Xiang Rui and others looked at the raging fire in the distance, directly lighting up the dark night, like a bright light in the dark night, so dazzling and dazzling.

"Hahaha! The event is over!" Liu De laughed loudly as he patted the city wall.

"General Anbei's ingenious calculation, the first battle was successful!"

The officials on the side also flattered Liu De, and a bunch of compliments flew towards Liu De without hesitation.

Although Liu De's face was calm, in fact, he was already happy in his heart, no wonder everyone likes Xingchen and sycophants?
Just listening to it makes me feel very happy.

On the other hand, Xiang Rui turned his head and looked at Liu De with a calm face, thinking to himself: "This Liu De deserves to have achieved such a great reputation. In him, I can see the shadow of Mr. Li Yun. He is humble, Cautious, self-confident, and not showing emotions, I am afraid that even Mr. Li Yun will not be able to handle things so perfectly! If things change in the future, will General Anbei be Mr. Li Yun's biggest opponent?"

Xiang Rui turned his head, looked at the raging fire in the distance, and said in his heart: "No matter what, Liu De saved Chen Liucheng, and even saved my life. I will keep this love in my heart and repay it sooner or later." .”

Qin Qiong raised his mace and killed another person. Looking at the frightened Bodhisattva priests who hesitated to step forward, he snorted coldly and blew his whistle.

Suddenly there was a neighing sound of a war horse from behind, and after a while there was a loud clap of hooves, and the yellow pussy horse galloped over. Qin Qiong got on the horse, turned the horse's head, and beat the horse away under the fearful eyes of dozens of Bodhisattvas.

The enemy army had already panicked due to the fierce fire. Although some generals kept shouting, they still failed to organize an effective defense in the end. But taking advantage of the opportunity, he quickly tore open a hole and returned to Chen Liucheng by the same route.

Liu De and the others had already greeted each other at the base of the city. Guan Yu led the soldiers back first, then Li Lei and the others, then Wei Yan, and finally Qin Qiong came back alone.

When the blood-stained Qin Qiong returned, Liu De's serious expression finally revealed a smile. After all, the battlefield is extremely dangerous. He was really afraid that the slightest accident would happen to the generals under his command. Fortunately, the system can remind the generals under his command if they died in battle. Otherwise, Liu De would have to die in a hurry, after all, Qin Qiong would have come back a long time later than the other generals.

And when the generals learned that Qin Qiong burned the granary to cover Guan Yu and broke it alone, this kind of courage made everyone admire him.

Seeing that all the generals had returned safely, Liu De encouraged them and told them to go back to rest. After all, after a long period of fighting, the generals were already exhausted.

Liu De asked Master Niu and Xun Yu to count the battle achievements and losses, and left guards to monitor the enemy's movements at all times and report at any time.

Then he went back to the Li Mansion.

"What about our losses?"

After half a night of extinguishing, the fire that burned half of the tent was finally extinguished in the early morning. King Xiao Ming sat in the main tent and asked with a serious face.

The General Arhat who guarded the granary didn't say a word of nonsense before he was dragged out and chopped up by King Xiaoming.

All the generals below looked at each other, and one general had no choice but to stand up and report: "Master Xiaoming, last night a total of more than 700 tents were lost, and [-] soldiers were killed. Most of them were trampled and burned to death."

"Where's the food?"

King Ming didn't wait for the general to finish speaking, he interrupted directly.

Losing some tents and soldiers is nothing, now it mainly depends on how long the food can last.

"My lord Xiaoming Wang, all the food added up is only enough for three days. If you save a little, you can persist for a week without any problem." The general replied.

"Tell me, what should we do next?"

Xiao Ming Wang leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes.

One of General Arhat thought for a while and stood up and said, "."

"Mr. Xun, according to the report from the sentry, the enemy army has not moved at all. What do you think King Ming is thinking?" Liu De asked Xun Yu who was sitting on a chair drinking tea.

Xun Yu put down the teacup, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "To my lord, there are only two possibilities?"

"Oh? Which two o'clock?"

Xun Yu talked eloquently: "First, discuss retreating troops; second, discuss attacking the city!"

Liu De rubbed his chin, and said doubtfully, "I understand the retreat. What's the meaning of attacking the city?"

"According to Yu's estimation, although the granary was burnt down, if the rescue is timely, there should be a few days of food left, maybe two days, three days or even longer, use the remaining food to make a desperate fight and attack the city with all your strength. If Chen Liu is captured, then all difficulties will be resolved."

Liu De took over the words: "But if you can't attack, then there is no possibility of escaping!"

Xun Yu bowed and said, "My lord's words are very true!"

Liu De took a few steps back and forth, and asked, "Mr. Yi, which one will King Ming choose?"

"According to Yu's understanding of King Xiaoming these days, he will definitely give up everything and attack the city desperately! But Yu thinks that his generals may not want to attack the city anymore!"

"My lord Xiaoming, I think we should withdraw to Dongzhou in the end! Now that we can save food for seven days, we can also search for some grain on the way back to Dongzhou, which is enough for us to return to Dongzhou, Dongzhou It's our base camp, and the Venerable is in charge in person, and we'll kill it after we've replenished our food, grass and soldiers, anyway, Chen Liucheng won't be able to escape."

Said one general.

"That's right! General Lei is right!"

"That's right, that's right, we can't fight any more. If we run out of food and don't get in, then we're all finished!"

"The defenders of Chenliu City are too powerful. A man as powerful as General Chao was killed in one fell swoop. General Yu was also hacked to death by that big man with a halberd. It's so desolate."

All the generals felt sorry for each other and talked about it one after another.

"boom!"

A loud noise made all the generals in the big tent shut their mouths!It turned out that it was King Xiaoming who punched the desk, and even the desk was cracked by this punch, which shows the anger of King Xiaoming.

King Xiao Ming looked at the crowd with their heads down, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart, these idiots think things too simply, if they can retreat, do you think I am unwilling to retreat?
Not to mention the loss of prestige after the failure, the King of Daming will definitely take action to seize my rights, but if you say retreat, will Chen Liucheng let you retreat safely?Now the only way to survive is to attack the city desperately.

If you retreat, as long as it is a person, it will take advantage of the victory and pursue it.
and many more! ! !

King Xiao Ming suddenly thought of something, stood up, walked back and forth non-stop, and muttered in his mouth: "Take advantage of the victory to pursue. I still have an army in the south to defend the reinforcements of the state capital, then"

King Xiaoming raised his head and said: "Since everyone wants to retreat, then go back and prepare! After two hours, we will break out of the camp!"

"Yes!"

When the generals heard that King Xiao Ming was willing to retreat, they responded happily.

When the generals left, King Xiao Ming called one of his disciples, wrote a secret letter, handed it to him, and said: "Give this letter to General Zhang Hang, and let him act according to plan!"

"Disciple, understand!"

The disciple responded, and then left the tent.
